HEAVY HITTERS
In March 2020, Phil Hayes re­turned once more to the in­ti­mate set­ting of the Gess­ner­allee Süd­bühne , this time re­unit­ing with his old Forced En­ter­tain­ment spar­ring part­ner John Row­ley.
Phil and John stag­gered back to the start­ing point of the im­pos­si­ble duet they cre­ated for Wenn liebe nicht mehr das ist, was sie war, an evening in­spired by Shake­speare's son­nets, in 2015 at the Gess­ner­allee for the Zürcher Fest­spiele.
Vis­ceral, mu­si­cal and qui­etly dis­turb­ing.. Phil and John got lost ex­plor­ing the tragic, heroic fail­ure of singing (your way out) of the pain...
With Heavy Hitters, they pushed this ab­surd dou­ble-act fur­ther to ex­plore the con­cept of per­sis­tence, the idea of keep get­ting back up and try­ing again, of sta­mina against all odds … ask­ing when is the time for an ag­ing (artist) body to fi­nally quit?
An ex­pense of emo­tional en­ergy
weak knees
a waste of shame
lust in ac­tion
lost in ac­tion
love ac­tion
A First Cut Pro­duc­tions co­pro­duc­tion with Gess­ner­allee Zurich.
